It's a common motor, really nothing to get excited about (unless built!). 98 Civic EX, stock everything, 145k miles, perfect body (no dents, scratches or anything) is definitely worth at least $3000. I would just make sure that the timing belt/water pump was done. They usually need replacing at 95K or so.
What color is the car you are looking at? 5 speed?

yea its perfect im gunna go look closer at it and drive it around 730ish... its white with 17inch black rimswindows blacked out but has a gay triabol decal on the sides but o well they prolly come off.... doesnt even have exhaust plain civic with rims tail lights and decal idk...ty for the info and it is a 5 speed

i just checked out ur wikipedia also wow... i learn alot of **** in like 5 mins lol

Try and get a few pics while you"re there. Post them up!

wanna supercharge that d16y8? im trying to sell mine, i dont need it nemore i replaced the y8 for b16 type-r

d16y8 is a good all around motor for anything. Daily driver, turbo, build... Lots of parts laying around the internet

would ur superchager work for a d15b7?
